This year on the marijuana pseudo-holiday 4/20, it's clear that more people are consuming pot. There’s a chance that on April 20, 2017, more Californians will be able to legally partake in marijuana if a ballot initiative makes it on the ballot and is approved in November.

If 365,880 valid voter signatures are gathered by June 5, The California Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Initiative would go on the November ballot. It would legalize adult use of marijuana. It would also create a sales tax of 15 percent on recreational sales and a cultivation tax of $9.25 per ounce for flowers and $2.75 for leaves for recreational marijuana. Adults could possess an ounce of marijuana in plant form, and eight grams in concentrate.
